Call for Papers


2nd International Workshop on Blockchain Security and Scalability (BSS2023)

in conjunction with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Blockchain (Blockchain 2023)

Ocean Flower Island, Hainan, China

Blockchain is one of the disruptive technologies of the current era, which enables trustworthy transaction processing through participation of distributed nodes. The widespread adoption of blockchain has been facilitated by research on blockchain beyond cryptocurrencies where significant efforts have been made to devise different business models, its applicability in various domains and to optimise its adaptability for different applications. Being the most notable blockchain-based application, the success of Bitcoin has introduced an innovative model of decentralised, trustworthy application development across diverse domains such as healthcare, e-voting logistics, and finance. structure among transactions as well as public availability of distributed ledgers of transaction-records in a peer-to-peer network.

The increasing use of blockchain within diverse domains has also identified several challenges which have to be addressed for its widespread adoption. Among these, security and scalability are the most prominent challenges which require further research efforts to address them. For instance, attack vectors such as encryption scheme used in the transactions, methods for verifying transactions and the design of the transaction have been identified as sources of threats for blockchain-based applications. Furthermore, with growing applications and users for blockchain-based applications, scalability is a critical challenge and as such has been translated into parameters such as transactions per second, block generation rate, and block size.
